Revolutionize Your Color Grading with Photoshop’s New Adjustment Presets
Color grading in Photoshop has always been a cornerstone for photographers and digital artists looking to add mood, tone, and depth to their images. However, the recent introduction of a groundbreaking feature within Photoshop’s adjustment presets is set to change the game entirely.
Adjustment presets, for those unfamiliar, are a collection of one or several adjustment layers bundled together to create a specific look or effect. This tool has been underutilized by many but holds the power to transform your photos with just a few clicks.
Cinematic Color Grading Made Easy
Imagine wanting to give your photo a cinematic feel or a warm, sunny vibe. With the new adjustment presets feature, you can hover over various presets to preview their effects instantly. Whether it’s a cool blue mood or a bright, warm sunshine effect, selecting and applying these presets can be done in seconds, drastically reducing your editing time.
Furthermore, the beauty of these presets lies in their flexibility. Not only can you stack different presets to achieve unique combinations, but you can also modify them to suit your needs. For instance, applying warmth selectively to a subject’s face or adjusting the mood by tweaking the blues in your image are just a few modifications you can make to personalize the preset effects.
Customization at Its Core
One of the most exciting aspects of the new adjustment presets feature is the ability to create, export, and share your own presets. This opens up a world of possibilities for collaboration and creativity within the Photoshop community. For example, after meticulously color grading an image using curves, color lookups, and selective color adjustments, you can save this combination as a custom preset. This not only streamlines your workflow for future projects but also allows you to share your unique color grading styles with others.
Enhance Your Color Grading with External Tools
Incorporating external tools can elevate your color grading to new heights. Tools like Luminar Neo and the Retouch for Me plugin offer advanced color matching capabilities, allowing you to replicate the color grading from any image, movie scene, or painting. These tools can generate LUTs (Look-Up Tables) that integrate seamlessly with Photoshopās adjustment presets, further expanding your creative palette.
Expanding Your Toolkit with Resources
Enhancing your designs doesn’t stop at Photoshop. Leveraging resources from platforms like Envato Elements, Dealjumbo, and graphicriver can introduce new elements and textures to your work. Whether it’s applying a unique font from Envato Elements or incorporating a graphic element from graphicriver, these resources can complement your color-graded images, adding layers of complexity and interest.
Sharing and Exporting Your Presets
Photoshop’s new feature allows for easy sharing and exporting of your custom-made presets. Whether you’re looking to back up your presets, share them with a colleague, or distribute them to your followers, the process is straightforward. This not only fosters a sense of community among creatives but also encourages the exchange of ideas and techniques.
Understanding the Limitations
While the adjustment presets feature is powerful, it’s important to note its limitations. Certain adjustments, such as blend if conditions and gradients, may not be preserved when saving presets. Despite these limitations, the feature still offers significant advantages in terms of efficiency and creativity.
Conclusion
The introduction of adjustment presets in Photoshop marks a significant leap forward in color grading. This feature not only simplifies the process but also opens up endless possibilities for customization and creativity. By utilizing external tools and resources like Luminar Neo, Placeit, and Envato Elements, you can further enhance your color grading projects. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, exploring this new feature can unlock new potentials in your workflow.

@LanderGraphics
Looking forward to trying this one out. Thanks as always PIX!
@selwynbear4745
There is a way to incorporate masks & gradients. Create your preset without masking or gradients. Then create an action that first applies your preset & then do the masking, adding of gradient/s etc.

@KenToney
You had mentioned that there would be something at the end of the video for us and I was expecting probably some presets. Are those available?
@careyriddell7780
frustating that if your adjustment Layers are named the name does not carry forward. Also not all aspects are kept. Say you have a levels adjustment layer and in advanced Blending you turn off MYK, that does not hold inside a group. Also does not keep your Groups in Groups to help with orgainization
@ladybuddy
First rate as always! Thank you Unmesh!
@fajnoor4075

@okidoke4822
OMG I can't stand the ads before the video. YouTube has gone nuts with ads and you can't even skip them anymore. It's killing my enjoyment of your videos Unmesh.
@alirax4058
Thank you so much
@dr.truthteller9768
It would be nice if it could save masks where the subject has been masked. When doing hundreds of photos on a blank background with one subject it gets very tedious having to make masks and inverting them and so on when this could all be done with AI detection.
@dr.truthteller9768
Do the rest of us think running two programs for every photo is dumb? Why is there not an answer to combining Lightroom and Photoshop into one program. I don't want to hear the lame argument of one being for RAW and the other for JPEGs. I should be able to fully edit my RAW files (skin retouching/liquify/dodge,burn/ cull/organize/mass process,etc..)) in one program….It's dumb
@theguydave
My anti-virus sees that program as a virus and quarantines it.
@hettyherz
The free version of the Retouch4me doesn't allow to export. I personally think that built-in Photoshop Neural Filter Color Transfer does pretty much the same job.
